MAP-15 regenerator

Highly-active Vitamin C concentrate to minimize multiple signs of aging. This revolutionary powder-to-emulsion technology delivers the highest concentration of Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) directly into the skin to help dramatically improve skin firmness and clarity. Our highly-effective form of Vitamin C works with a blend of White Tea, Hyaluronic Acid, Glucosamine, Phospholipids, Algae and Yeast extracts to help stimulate collagen production, brighten skin tone, and neutralize free radicals to dramatically increase hydration, firmness and elasticity while helping to prevent the signs of aging caused by Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs a damaged by-product of sugar/protein reactions in the skin). Silky emulsion glides gently over skin for efficient application, especially around the delicate eye and mouth area. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colors.

Merchant response: Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. Aging is unfortunately difficult to treat due to various factors: hormones, genetics, pollution, lifestyle, sun damage etc. It is important to be patient and persistent with the products.

Please note that the products can help, but it is important to be patient and persistent. For example, lines or sun spots that have been forming under the skin for years will take time to soften.

I added this to my moisturizer in the morning. I liked knowing I was adding extra vitamins to my skin, however, I didn't see a noticeable difference weather I added it to the moisturizer/serum or if didn't use it at all. I am assuming it had beneficial properties that improved the condition of my skin but I didn't see a noticeable difference after a month & with no noticeable difference I rather not pay that expensive price.

A little awkward at first to use due to the fact that it's a powder, but I mix this in with my Age Smart moisturizer and it makes my skin glow! I purchased the Age Smart travel kit to test the products first, and this was one of 3 full sized products I purchased after.

I think my first review of map-15 regenerator was several years back. I started using it on those tiny lines that started appearing around the sides of my mouth. Like magic they disappeared after the first application. I was in my early 40's then. Now, approaching 50, I can say that it is still my go-to product for reducing the appearance of age lines but also for banishing dark circles in the eye area. I simply pat a little bit of it over moisturizer and before primer to the area under each eye and around my mouth. I let it soak in before applying skin perfect primer and get a beautiful, younger look every time. I do believe it improves skin health over time. Thank you Dermalogica!

Vitamin C reduces sun damage, photo pigmentation, inflammation, promotes collagen formation. Sounds like a typical miracle claims used by about every company.But, look up in the ncbi. Just like tretinoin vitamin C works, and mechanisms are documented. Vit c is unstable, but map15 uses map which is the stable form. Consider this vit c because it's the one of not many proven beneficial topical remedies for sun damage and aging!!!

I was very skeptical about this product when introduced to me at the salon. I am eating humble pie right now! It really has helped with the condition of my aging dull skin and am glad I gave it a try! Just be careful as it is a powder and can easily fall off your finger! I use it over a smooth surface so if I drop any I can pick it up.

This is the one product I am not 100% sold on as it is a little messy and hard to use. Not sure if it makes a difference as I haven't used it religiously but when I did use it wasn't sure if I did right. All the other products in the line are amazing though!

I am confused by this product. Which is more effective? Spot treating before any moisturizer, primer, makeup....or dabbing on the areas after all makeup is applied so it doesn't just get wiped off by the application of the other products? Seems since its a powder going on last would make sense.. I only have the small trial vial so I don't want to waste it doing it wrong..I will repurchase if I see results so I want to do what is most effective

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. This is a powder to cream formula. If you spot treat, the powder will melt into your skin. You can apply it before your moisturizer, or mix it into your moisturizer.

Kind Regards,The Dermalogica Team

Q:

Would this product be safe to use during pregnancy & breastfeeding? Does this help correct areas of hyper-pigmentation in addition to treating fine lines? Thank you!

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. MAP 15 Regenerator is safe to use during pregnancy, as it does not contain Salicylic Acid or retinol. The ingredients in this product will brighten and prevent aging.

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. This can be mixed with your preferred moisturizer, morning and night.

Q:

Can I mix Map 15 with a face oil rather than a moisturiser?: Hi, I was wondering how best to use Map 15 with my regular face oil which I wear under Skin Smoothing cream. Can Map 15 be mixed with face oil (this is what I'm currently doing) or is it best to use Map 15 on targeted areas first followed by my oil and then finally skin smoothing cream? Thanks

I've been using this product for many years, while I lived in Hawaii and now in Colorado where it is also very sunny. I use skin perfect primer each day, over this product, so I am using a regular sunscreen. I have not had any problem with it making my skin more sensitive to the sun.

A:

Thank you for your question. Vitamin C does not necessarily make your skin more prone to sun damage, actually just the opposite due to it's antioxidant properties. It can however, cause the skin to become sensitized if you are sensitive to vitamin C products. Either way we always recommend using sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight during peak hours. If this or any product causes irritation on your skin we recommend not using it and exchanging it for another product. Sensitivities may develop to any ingredient and should be addressed by stopping the use of the irritant. Please contact us with any further questions.
